Hello everyone. I'm new to allnurses.com and I just wanted to say congrats to those who got into the 2012 UCF nursing program this summer.

I am a prenursing student at UCF as I am still working on a few prerequisites before I apply to CON.

Seeing you all on here, all going through the things I'll be going through next spring makes me feel better about this whole process.

Good luck to everyone!!! Strap in! It's going to be one kind of a ride from what I've heard.

Is there anyone out there who is planning on applying to accelerated program (ABSN) that starts in summer 2013? I'm starting this thread in hopes of finding many of you who wouldn't mind going through this somewhat stressful process together! :)

I am very excited and hopeful that I'll be accepted next year. I already have a bachelor's degree in finance and investments so my #1 choice is the accelerated route, however I will also apply to the basic program as a back up option, which will start in the fall of 2013.

Anyone has taken TEAS yet? I took it in spring semester and scored 82. My overall GPA is 3.90 and prerequisite GPA 4.0 so far. I still have 4 prerequisites to complete. Should I retake the TEAS? I heard that scoring 90 or above makes you really competitive.

Thanks for all of your responses.

Best of luck!!!

akwildone, so sorry I haven't given a response to your pm, been busy with studies, heck its Friday night and I was just doing some school work. I hope everything worked out ok for you. For you guys coming in Clinicals could literally change like the night before. I'm in the generic BSN that's how it is with us. Accelerated might be different....hopefully.

It's ok. All worked out. Thanks. I

f that is how it is that is ridiculous about clinicals. Changing the night before is not an option for those of us with kids. Honestly I don't see why they cant' do a schedule just like any nurse. Where I volunteer the schedule goes a month out. I'll deal with it as it comes I guess!

Agreed! I'm on the daycare hunt right now and they all open and close at different times so it would be so helpful to know how the schedule will work so I can pick a place. Guess we just have to take it as it comes.

My daughter is already on the waitlist for somewhere that closes at 8, and the place she's at now closes at 6. Now I have one more thing to anxiously hope for.

Hey guys I have a quick question! For the interview, do you arrive 30 min prior to your "arrival times" as stated In the emal, or do you arrive on that time ? Such as 9:30?

If arrival time is 9:30 and your interview is at 10:00 then you just need to show up at 9:30. I had a 8:30 arrival time (9:00 interview) and I showed up around 8:20 just to be safe!

I was wait listed for the accelerated. Congrats to everyone that got in! Does anyone know if there is a way to find out your spot on the wait list? I already signed and sent the paper back.

You should call CON to see if they can answer this question for you.

Last year, when you called they could only tell you if you were on the upper half or lower half of the wait list...very frustrating!
